Haha they're doing the wrong advertising stuff again.

From Steam:

"Brütal Legend is an action-adventure that marries visceral action combat with open-world freedom. [...], it’s a fresh take on the action/driving genre, [...]. "

"But describing Brutal Legend as an RTS game was absolutely out of the question in Vivendi’s eyes, says Schafer, “Vivendi was like ‘No. Absolutely not. We’ll never say RTS, ever. Even if someone asks us if it’s an RTS we’ll say no.’”"

"When asked about the Brutal Legend demo, which misrepresented the game as an action, hack n’ slash title, Schafer explained, “The demo was kind of an accident. The mechanics ramp up slowly over time, so the demo is usually the first mission, so you just don’t know those complicated RTS mechanics yet."

"“It started as an RTS” Schafer added, “but it evolved over time and it really became different from an RTS game. Like I said after release, if you play it like an RTS game you won’t win. You have to play it like this new RTS/action hybrid. So because it became something different I felt it was not correct to call it an RTS anymore.”"

So now it only belongs to the action/driving genre
